Reporting and context
Federal investigators seized approximately 37 kilograms of methamphetamine from a parcel-delivery business in El Salto, Jalisco, after an anonymous tip about a suspicious shipment, according to AF Medios, citing Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR).
Officers from the Federal Ministerial Police, part of the Criminal Investigation Agency, went to the business to investigate the report. With help from a detection dog, they located a box containing 18 packages that authorities identified as methamphetamine.
AF Medios reported that the approximately 37-kilogram figure was the gross weight of the seized material. The 18 packages were found in a single box at the business; the report describes one seizure rather than a total from multiple operations.
The drugs were turned over to federal prosecutors. The FGR's Jalisco office, attached to its regional prosecution branch known as FECOR, opened an investigation to establish who was involved. The inquiry concerns possible drug offenses and is directed at whoever investigators determine was responsible.
